■■■■■Picky Introduction:
■Picky Appears:
"Master Prince—! Bad news! Bad news—! My homeland, the Steel Capital, is in trouble! The way things are, the city's going to be reduced to rubble!"
"——Wawawa, r-right, I have to calm down... Su—ha—... Su—ha—... Y, yosh, lemme expya... Let me explain!!"
"You see, a colossal weapon from an ancient civilization has come online and is rampaging through the Steel Capital...!!"
"The origins of the incident was the research facility on the outskirts of the Steel Capital. I believe they were researching some device believed to be a relic of the ancient civilization in that facility, but..."
"But now that device has assimilated even the surrounding building, turning itself into a colossal weapon."
"According to one of the former research staff, that device is an unknown object they know nothing about except it has a tremendous amount of energy."
"Based on eye-witness reports, the device suddenly lit up and started pulling all sorts of stuff around it to shape itself into a colossal weapon."
"There's no doubt that thing is 'Deus Ex Machina' that appeared in various accounts from the ancient civilization...!"
"It's a legendary ancient weapon, that has been passed down in the Steel Capital, whose absurd battle power earned it the name that means 'god from the machine'.
"According to the legends, the core of Deus Ex Machina assimilated the surrounding matter and changed itself into a colossal figure bigger than any mountain at the time, and it didn't stop till it destroyed everything..."
"If this is true, the steel city will be reduced to rubble before we're able to retake it... I never would have thought such a legendary weapon would actually exist..."
"Please, Master Prince! Please save my homeland, the Steel Capital...!!"
"——Ahh, thank you so much! As expected of Master Priiince—! I'll definitely repay this favour someday...!!"
"Well then, please have a quick look at these diagrams. This spot... Right, you need to watch out for these large cannons. That weapon is carrying 2 powerful cannons!"
”I believe the cooperation of those in heavy armour will be indispensable in drawing that thing's attention to catch its cannon shells!"
"Also, Deus Ex Machina has seized control of the Steel Capital's security bots and turned them into its servants."
"The crux of this battle will be how you deal with its cannons and the security bots. Master Prince, please give your orders with care...!"

■■■■■LV1 Introduction:
Picky: "Master Prince! That's Deus Ex Machina...!"
Lean: "The things jutting out of it are the 2 cannons you mentioned...? Indeed, the calibre of that cannon isn't something that can be handled with half-baked gear."
Lean: "Prince, to deal with those cannons, give appropriate orders to heavily armoured frontline fighters like us."
Boris: "——That Deus Ex Machina thing, for such a large body, I see no sign of any energy generation mechanism."
Tiare: "Ehh, meaning, that whole body is moving just from the energy being supplied from the core?"
Boris: "Just that tremendous amount of energy it's outputting, if we destroy it in battle and halt its cycle, may cause a great explosion like the security robots."
Picky: "So it may be a good idea to retreat shortly after we destroy Deus Ex Machina, right...?"
Boris: "Doesn't look like the body it constructed can handle its own energy, either. How about we leave it be and let it blow itself to smithereens?"
Picky: "W, we can't do that! It'll be a disaster if we let it self-destruct in the city!!"
Boris: "——My bad, there's also that. Since it's like that, looks like we have no choice but to destroy it at any rate."
Picky: "That's right! Master Prince, for the future of the Steel Capital, please turn Deus Ex Machina into scrap metal!!"

■■■■■LV3 Introduction:
Tiare: "Wh, what's that red thing!? My attacks started making little impact on neither Deus Ex Machina, nor the nearby patrol bots!"
Boris: "Could it be the machine with that red core's strengthening their physical defence systems?"
Boris: "Furthermore, that red machine body itself is erecting a barrier that won't let even the strongest blades and arrows through. The hell's this advanced technology...!?"
Tiare: "Physical defence systems...? Eeh, meaning... If it's magic, then it'll be effective, right!?"
Boris: "I believe so! Prince, let's borrow the strength of our magicians and magical swordsmen! No need to fight within that thing's area of expertise!"

■■■■■LV5 Phase Two:
Picky: "——Yay! Deus Ex Machina's starting to fall apart! I knew I could count on Master Prince——ah, ehh? Huh!?"
Boris: "It didn't break down... That thing changed forms...!! If we collide with that great mass, we'll get trampled!"
Anna: "It's not an opponent we can stop directly! Quickly, withdraw the soldiers in its path! Prince, I'm counting on you!"
Prince: ".........!! (Nod)."

■■■■■LV7 Introduction:
Picky: "Master Prince! This time there's a machine with a blue core!!"
Barbastraff: "——What, this unusual magical signature! My magic has no effect on the machine...!?"
Boris: "Don't tell me it reproduced a magical barrier with its machine technology!? This ancient technology's starting to piss me off..."
Boris: "Prince, as long as that machine with the blue core is present, magic looks like it'll have no effect on Deus Ex Machina."
Tiare: "It looks like even that blue machine itself has the same magical barrier as Deus Ex Machina. Since it's like this, we might have to bust it up with physical attacks!"
Picky: "Umm, the red machine has a physical barrier and the blue machine has a magical one..."
Boris: "Don't overcomplicate it. If we strike with the opposite characteristic, that'll be their weak point. Once we destroy both of 'em, our damage to the main body should pass through!"
Anna: "So the ancient weapon Deus Ex Machina is being protected by two defensive systems...? Prince, please give your orders with care...!!"

■■■■■LV10 Clear Scene:
Anna: "Deus Ex Machina quieted down...!!"
Picky: "Th, that was a pretty big explosion... But this means we won, right? That makes it our win, right!?"
Tiare: "We did it, Prince! Nice work—!!"
Boris: "Yare-yare, now I'm concerned with our ancient heritage. Lessee, how about we have a look under the hood."
Picky: "Ah, Boris-san! If you approach it, it may still be dangerous, you know!?"
Boris: "Don't worry, that vast energy is already... No, wait, there's too little remaining energy."
Boris: "...... Like I thought. Prince, the core's missing."
Tiare: "Did it fly off during the explosion?"
Boris: "... That or it's possible it self-destructed to let the core get away, but we won't know unless we do a little more digging around."
Tiare: "Mumumu... It's nice that we won, but now I'm a kind of worried."
Boris: "Well, it's fine. Either way, we need to investigate this thing. Including the search for the core, leave the rest of this matter to us."
Anna: "Understood. Please do that for us. Now then, Prince, let's take our leave. That was good work subduing Deus Ex Machina!"
Picky: "Master Prince, and everyone from the Kingdom, you tru—uly have our thanks!"

■■■■■Mysterious Thread Bundle (1/20) (謎の糸束)
Anna: "——Everyone, are you safe!?"
Berna: "Anna! The Prince also came, right...!? Thank goodness; the way things are, we were on the verge of being destroyed!"
Katie: "We received a report that monsters bearing a strange power have appeared, so we rushed over as soon as we possibly could. In any case, what's important is that everyone's safe."
Berna: "Right! Look!! Monsters with a queer power are scattered among the regular ones!"
Shadia: "——A strange ability? Tell me the specifics."
Berna: "It's not like they can't be defeated, but they're somehow able to evade our physical attacks and even when we strike them with magic, it doesn't seem to be very effective."
Berna: "Thanks to that, we're short of hands on our side... I'm truly glad the Prince and the others have come..."
Shadia: "Resistance against magic... eh? A number of causes come to mind, so we'll just have to defeat the monsters first to confirm which one."
Anna: "... That so? Prince, please give the order for battle!"
(Aura Monster Appears)
Berna: "Aahh! Prince, that one! That's one of the guys with the queer power I talked about!"
Shadia: "... It looks like it's holding something. That's... could it be a bundle of thread...?"
Shadia: "Prince, since the monster is resistance to both physical and magical attacks, then attacks with piercing properties may prove most effective. Keep this in the back of your head."
(end)
Katie: "——Fuu, somehow managed."
Berna: "Yosh, yosh, well then, the spoils of war——eh, huh? Ahh, this's the thread bundle Shadia mentioned earlier."
Shadia: "Berna, will you let me see that thread? I may be overthinking it, but I have an idea."
Berna: "Idea? Does Shadia happen to know something...?"
Shadia: "——Fumu, this is... Like I thought..."
Shadia: "Prince, let's change locations. It looks like an expedition will be in order. I want to settle down in a place where we can devise a strategy and talk."
Prince: "......... (Nod)."
Berna: "Ehh, ehh, are you implying this high-quality thread is pretty dangerous stuff!?"
Shadia: "... Well, it could be one of my groundless fears. Come with us, Berna. I also want to ask the opinion of the one that was fighting the monsters holding these threads."
Berna: "U, understood. Well then, Prince, let's quickly hold a war council!"

■■■■■Berna Introduction
■Berna & Shadia Appear
Shadia: "——Based on Berna's report, it's a fact this thread is unmistakeably strengthening the monsters."
Berna: "Shadia, you mentioned something about having an idea, but...?"
Shadia: "Aye. Like I told you before, Maou is having his servants seek out a type of power that has been hidden throughout the world."
Shadia: "And this thread bears a close resemblance to the characteristics of the 'Magic Thread of Blessing' I learned about while searching for the power."
Berna: "Let's see, umm, meaning...?"
Shadia: "I'm saying we obtained a clue regarding one of the powers Maou's army has been seeking."
Berna: "Isn't that great!? Let's go take it!!"
Shadia: "... Where're you going to take it, Berna? We've confirmed the existence of the 'Magic Thread of Blessing', but we still don't know its whereabouts, do we?"
Berna: "Don't worry, it'll be OK. The monsters with the thread appeared outside the royal capital, so——"
Anna: "——Prince! Bad news! There's a report bandits holding the aforementioned thread have appeared!"
Berna: "——Like I'm saying. The monsters probably cleaned out wherever the thread's been hidden."
Berna: "I don't know whether the hiding place is some ruin, dungeon, or crypt, but doesn't that mean we know it exists there?"
Berna: "Since it's something of value that can be plundered, then it won't be just monsters, but bandits should be after it as well. If we don't hurry, the last of the thread will get snatched!"
Shadia: "... I see, what Berna says has merit. Prince, I want you to lend your strength. Let's secure the 'Magic Thread of Blessing' before Maou's army."
Berna: "Yosh, it's decided! Let's go take the 'Magic Thread of Blessing' for ourselves!!"

■■■■■Scattered Magical Thread (30/2) (散らばった魔力糸)
Bandit A: "Kukuku... Hard to believe these thread scraps hold such power, huh!?"
Bandit B: "With this power, those merchants' bodyguards will be a piece o' cake. Stealing their goods would be like stealing candy from babes!"
Bandit A: "Also this power alone probably enough to fetch us good coin. Yosh, let's go plunder that dungeon again!"
Berna: "——Heeh, aren't we talking big? So, so, so, where's this dungeon? Fancy letting me in on the action?"
Bandit A: "Ah? If it's that labyrinth, it's——who the hell are you!? You're not one of us!?"
Berna: "Acha—, looks like that was a no-go. But from what we heard earlier, these guys seem to know the whereabouts of the thread."
Shadia: "Yeah. We'll have them tell us the whereabouts of the 'Magic Thread of Blessing' by all means possible."
Bandit B: "Cheh!? Who'll talk!? Oi, you guys, take care of 'em!!"
Shadia: "——Hoh, how spirited. Prince, it seems they wish to trade blows with us. I suggest you take care of them promptly."
Berna: "Shadia, we'll deal with the ones over there. Prince, please take care of the ones in this area!"
Prince: "......... (Nod)."
Anna: "Though our opponents are bandits, there are also ones holding the 'Magic Thread of Blessing'. So let's take plenty of caution and neutralise them!"
(end)
Bandit B: "W, w-w-w, we yield!!"
Berna: "Before you beg for your lives, I think you should tell us where you plundered these threads chop-chop, don't you...?"
Berna: "Ahh, if you spit out any lies, then this Shadia Onee-san is gonna give ya a sca—ary punishment, OK?"
Bandit A: "Hiiii!! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!! So just spare our lives...!?"
Shadia: "... Why's he so frightened? That Berna, I'll remember this later."
Berna: "Heheheh. So, where did you plunder the thread?"
Bandit B: "From inside the dungeon!! From a hole made from a recent rockslide, we found a new path!!"
Bandit A: "W, we were attacked by monsters coming out from that dungeon, and stole these threads from 'em!!"
Berna: "Hm, hm. And the vital location of that dungeon?"
Bandit A: "W, we wrote it down on this map! C'mon, please, we told you straight, so will you let us go...?"
Berna: "... It's up to the guards whether we let you go, you know? Ahh, if you stop your bandit-ways and work honestly, then I guess I'll forget about reporting this matter~♪"
Bandit B: "Kuhh... It was a well-paid job I enjoyed...! Fine! We'll make an honest living!! So, pardon our actions!"
Berna: "Yoosh, Prince, we know the dungeon's location! Let's hurry and secure the 'Magic Thread of Blessing'!"
Prince: "......... (Nod)."

■■■■■Value of Thread and Adventurers in the Red (40/4) (糸の値打ちと赤字冒険者)
Paula: "——Slain monsters and empty potion bottles. Looks like this dungeon already has visitors."
Shadia: "Could it be the thread has already fallen into the hands of Maou's army...? Well, but those from Maou's army using potions is..."
Paula: "Drinking this many potions is proof it's a party without a healer. There's no doubt our guests are those broke adventurers."
Adventurer: "——Who're you calling broke? Who!?"
Paula: "Look, broke adventurers. ——But them surviving without a healer and them being capable enough to make it this far means..."
Berna: "It means the 'Magic Thread of Blessing' is without a doubt somewhere in here."
Adventurer: "So you've also come here seeking the rumoured high-quality magic thread, eh?"
Adventurer: "But we also have to live. There's no mistake that thread will fetch a high price from the tailors. There's no reason we can go: 'sure, go ahead, the road's all yours'."
Berna: "The 'Magic Thread of Blessing' isn't that sort of plain ol' treasure, you know? What's more, Maou's army is also after that thread, so——"
Adventurer: "But! It'll! Fetch! A! Good! Sum! Right!? I'm sorry, but we cannot let you go ahead! We shall defeat you here for the sake of our potion expenses!"
Shadia: "They have no intention to negotiate! Can't be helped, Prince, let's repel this party."
Anna: "Prince, on top of taking on both the adventurers and monsters at the same time, monsters holding the thread are also among them. Please stay on your toes!"
(end)
Adventurer: "... Kuh, in the red again?"
Berna: "Hey, hey, it seems you had some thread, so where did you get that?"
Adventurer: "We just took it from the monsters we defeated. Thanks to that, we quaffed a bunch of potions."
Berna: "Really? You really don't know the whereabouts of the thread? If you spit out a lie, this sca—ary Sha——"
Shadia: "——There's no telling what this scary Lady Paula will do."
Adventurer: "H, honest! We also just came here a moment ago!"
Paula: *Stare...*
Adventurer: "Hiii!? W, we do have some rough idea! The monsters that had the thread were coming from that direction! There's little doubt the place the thread's hidden is that way!!"
Berna: "... Looks like he's not lying, I guess. Thanks for telling us. Prince, let's hurry further in!"
Paula: "——Ahh, my apologies for frightening you. I'll heal your wounds."
Adventurer: "... R, really?"
Paula: "We're all the same in times of need. But it's about time you hire yourself a good healer, you know?"
Adventurer: "Hmph, potions are enough for us. But I'll give you my thanks."
Paula: "Geez, how dishonest."

■■■■■Maou's Army Magical Thread Search-Party (50/7) (魔王軍の魔力糸捜索隊)
Berna: "——Oops, wait, Prince. Looks like someone's up ahead. A great many someones."
Shadia: "This magical power... Could it be a Greater Demon? So Maou's army also noticed the whereabouts of the thread after all..."
Goblin: "——Gyagya! Prince here! Prince spotted!!"
Berna: "Waahh!? Goblin scouts!?"
Shadia: "It was a futile gesture to move with this large team without being spotted by scouts to begin with. Besides, there's no path where we don't fight from the beginning."
(Greater Demon appears)
Greater Demon: "——Hmm, I was wondering who it could be, but it's you? You beings called humans just keep coming out of the woodwork."
Berna: "I wish you wouldn't talk as if we're bugs. ——Prince, looks like those guy's are holding the thread. My danger senses are tingling!"
Greater Demon: "Hoh, you know about the thread. But it's a shame. Our main team is already further in."
Shadia: "... In other words, an executive from Maou's army is also seeking out the 'Magic Thread of Blessing'?"
Greater Demon: "I'm not obligated to answer that much. Now then, I wish to know the power of this thread. I guess I'll test it out with you as my first opponent."
Berna: "Prince, now that a greater demon has the power of the thread, there's no telling how strong he's become. Give your orders with care!"
(end)
Greater Demon: "Gufuh... Such strength... So you've grown further since the Makai Martial Arts Competition..."
Prince: "........."
Greater Demon: "Very well, you may go on ahead... All hands, withdraw. Don't forget the orders from that one."
Anna: "... The Greater Demon and his servants are starting to retreat into the gate."
Berna: "That one... Who could it be...?"
Shadia: "At the very least it's someone who treats a greater demon like a pawn."
Shadia: "But what's important is that we know Maou's army is on the move. We have no choice but to carefully proceed further in."
Berna: "Well, when push comes to shove, I'll steal the thread from under their noses. Prince, just leave it to me!"
Prince: "......... (Nod)."
Anna: "Well then, once we've treated our battle wounds, let's proceed into the dungeon's depths."

■■■■■Stalwart Orc Shielder (80/9) (堅守のオークシールダー)
Orc: "——I see, you were looking for this thread?"
Soma: "Y, yes. Umm... Would you kindly give us that thread...?"
Orc: "......... Hm. I don't mind handing it over."
Soma: "Really!?"
Orc: "But on one condition. We're breaking in some new equipment, so we're in the middle of holding a mock battle."
Orc: "In preparation for battles with even stronger foes, we were deploying the ones with the thread on the enemy's side and training to deal with all sorts of battle situations."
Berna: "Let's see, that means...?"
Orc: "So long as we're stretching out our training gear, something equivalent to compensation in our training is warranted."
Orc: "As warriors, we wish for a heated and passionate battle. The brave human warriors of the Kingdom, as warriors, you wouldn't answer us with an emphatic 'no', would you!?"
Prince: "......... (Nod)."
Orc: "Ooh, as expected of the Prince...!! In that case, we'll quickly don our new gear and present our stalwart warriors!!"
(Orc Shielder appears)
Orc: "Aye! With their unyielding defensive power, so long as they strike their shields, they'll draw the attention of the enemy archers! The flower of the battlefield that protects their allies, the Orc Shielders!"
Lean: "I see, by the looks of them, they appear to be strong. But since they're so heavily armoured, once we block them, I doubt they'll have room to strike their shields."
Anna: "Though it's a mock battle, the opponents are hardy Orcs. Prince, please give your orders with care!"
(end)
Orc: "... Splendid, Prince. Furthermore, it's our complete loss... As promised, we'll present these threads to you."
Soma: "Thank you very much, Orc-san."
Orc: "There's no reason to give us your thanks. We fight as warriors, we merely presented the spoils of battle as proof of that clash."
Orc: "But remember this, we Orcs shall brush up our martial skills further till the day we defeat you!"
Prince: "......... (Nod)."
Orc: "Now go, surely you have places you need to be, don't you? There's no need to linger here any longer."
Anna: "Well then, Prince, let's hurry onward. That was good work during the mock battle with the Orcs!"

■■■■■Dark Knight's Arrow Rain (40/5) (暗黒騎士の矢雨)
Decius: "——Muuu, for him to head to the deepest chamber before me, hasn't that guy heard of restraint!?"
Dark Knight's Subordinate: "To put it nicely, he's aloof. To put it negatively, he's egocentric."
Decius: "Honestly, I wish he would follow our example. ——Well, I've also been learning from that man's example when it comes to group battles."
Dark Knight's Subordinate: "That man...? Ahh, you mean the Prince? Decius-sama is quite fond of the Prince, isn't he?"
Decius: "Eeh, shaddup! Who'd be fond of a soft-hearted guy like that!?"
Dark Knight's Subordinate: "Hahaha, Decius-sama, it's written on your face. Then again, we don't have any faces, either."
Dark Knight's Subordinate: "Normally, it feels like you're looking for a place to die, yet when it comes to the Prince, you're awfully lively, aren't you?"
Decius: "... It's true I have an awfully noisy subordinate. In any case, focus on gathering the thread! Fortunately, this labyrinth isn't known to the Pri——"
Demon: "——M, message! Message! Decius-sama, the Prince's team is approaching!"
Decius: "What!? The Prince, you say!! ——There's no time to waste, all men prepare for battle!! Kukuku... Now my crossbow's also howling!!"
Dark Knight's Subordinate: "Hah, let's give them a grand reception!"
Berna: "——Prince, I sense monsters up ahead. This is... Living Armours, I guess...?"
Shadia: "Living Armours...? I would wonder 'could it be?', but the one waiting up ahead... must be that guy?"
Prince: "......... (Nod)."
Shadia: "Decius is packing his favourite crossbow... Prince, try to take care in the positioning of your soldiers."
Berna: "Yoosh, well then, Prince, please give the order for battle!!"
(end)
Decius: "Kuuh, I can't win at this rate!!"
Shadia: "——Decius, your being here. Is your target the 'Magic Thread of Blessing'?"
Decius: "Sh, sh-sh-sh, shut up! Don't think I'll give you information each and every time you ask! ——Oi, withdraw into the depths!"
Dark Knight's Subordinate: "Hah! I'll run a message to the team ahead as well!"
Berna: "... His attitude's as if he's saying they're after the magical thread. He doesn't have a face, but it's written all over it..."
Katie: "They said something about running a messenger further in, do you suppose their main team is up ahead..."
Anna: "The chance of that is highly likely... Prince, let's stay alert and hurry onward."

■■■■■Great Indomitable Claws (70/8) (不屈の大爪)
Berna: "Yeah, there's no doubt they're coming from this direction. Their footsteps are drawing near."
Barbastraff: "The magical power of the 'Magic Thread of Blessing' is also growing stronger. There's little doubt we're approaching the innermost chamber of this dungeon."
Shadia: "If Maou's army has made it this far, then it's highly likely they've taken most of the magical threads. It looks like we'll need to steal them back in direct combat..."
Berna: "When the time comes, leave it to me~♪ I'll use every trick in the book to steal 'em back!"
Shadia: "... Fufu, I'll be relying on you, Berna. Now then, we'll be catching up to them any moment now. Prince, don't get careless."
Prince: "......... (Nod)."
(Bwat-faced Dragonman Appears)
Kuroko: "—Hoh, I was wondering what was all the ruckus. So the Prince really did come to the labyrinth."
Decius: "That's what I just reported! Why won't you believe my words!?"
Goliah: "That guy's... Kuroko! You have some nerve to be showing your face!!"
Kuroko: "... Your subordinate is noisy. Decius, I'll leave these ones to you. Our orders are to take the magical threads."
Decius: "... Wh, what? Oi, you don't intend to fight!?"
Kuroko: "Right now, I am Maou-sama's loyal vassal before I am a warrior."
Kuroko: "The course of the world and fighting for my own desire. It is obvious which is more important. I shall be going ahead."
Decius: "Muuuuh!! I'm always drawing the short end of the stick!! But this is a good opportunity to test the power of the magical threads. Prince, don't think you'll win this challenge so easily!!"
Goliah: "Cheh, Prince, that shit-bastard Kuroko is escaping deep into the dungeon. Let us defeat Decius at once and chase after him!!"
(Decius Transforms)
Decius: (Th, this thread's magical power is more difficult to control than I thought...!? Can't be helped... Now that things have come to this...!!"
Berna: "Prince, Decius's form is starting to change! That form's the one we fought before——"
Shadia: "——The armour equipped with giant claws? If you let him scratch you enough in melee combat, your body will be unable to move for a short while."
Anna: "Looks like we'll need to take caution during melee combat. Prince, please give your orders to the soldiers with care!"
(end)
Decius: "——Gufuh... After all, I cannot count on a power I'm unaccustomed to... I should've brought more than just thread..."
Prince: "........."
Decius: "Hmph, you look like you have something to say. However, do you think I have time to chat over tea with you?"
Berna: "——Prince, there was a report from the scouts! Kuroko has reached the innermost chamber of the dungeon!"
Anna: "Prince, let's hurry ahead. We cannot let the 'Magic Thread of Blessing' fall into the hands of Maou's army."
Prince: "......... (Nod)."
Decius: "........."
Decius: "... Are they gone? Yare-yare, now matter what I do, I'm always drawing the short straw..."

■■■■■Piercing Lightning Spear, Threads to Protect (90/12) (穿つ雷槍、護る糸)
Goliah: "——Caught up to you, Kurokoo!!"
Berna: "Prince, b, bad news, bad news! The magical thread got taken!!"
Kuroko: "... Again with the damned subordinate whose name I do not even know. Tsk, you bark incessantly..."
Kuroko: "However, with these numbers, the casualties will be great even on our side. ——In that case, I have no choice but to also test these threads."
Kuroko: "You should meekly withdraw and quietly watch the end of the world. However, if you choose to resist, then I shall strike you down here."
Berna: "Who'll withdraw!? Prince, you agree, right?"
Prince: "......... (Nod)."
Berna: "Yooosh... Then I'll also have to put some spirit into it. Prince, please fight Maou's army at full strength!"
Kuroko: "Fufu, resisting to the bitter end. Though I am reluctant to brandish the power of the threads like this against a true warrior, this is also all for the sake of Maou Galious..."
Kuroko: "I will not leave a single piece of you remaining, I shall annihilate you with my lightning spear!!"
Anna: "Prince, Maou's army is coming! Let's win this battle without fail!!"
(end)
Goliah: "——Now, Berna!! I will create an opening...!!"
Berna: "——Yoosh! Theeeeeeere!!"
Kuroko: "......... Wha!? Where did you come from...!?"
Berna: "Acha—... I wasn't able to steal nothing more than half the magical threads. Guess my skills aren't quite up to par...?"
Kuroko: "For you to take even half the magical threads while I was distracted in the battle with the Prince... I also still have much to learn..."
Kuroko: "I thought you were inconsequential small fry, but I must expand my perception... The one called Goliah, I shall remember your name..."
Goliah: "... I am not happy even if it is remembered by you."
Kuroko: "Human girl over there... For you to slip past me and steal the thread without going the way of the sword, impressive."
Kuroko: "Out of respect for you, I shall withdraw today..."
Berna: "Ble—eh! If you're going to say impressive, then leave the other half behind—!"
Anna: "... Maou's army has started to withdraw into the gate. It's fortunate we were able to avoid a situation where they've stolen all of the 'Magic Thread of Blessing'."
Cyrus: "... Hmm, the fact we stole even half is great. They may have gained a terrible power if they had most of them."
Cyrus: "With them having less than half the threads, it appears its power has weakened considerably."
Berna: "Let's see, meaning... Hmm? We were able to thwart the schemes of Maou's army?"
Shadia: "Yeah, that's correct, Berna. Well done."
Berna: "Eheh, eheheh, well done? Well done? Hehhe—n, go ahead and praise me more, Prince?"
Prince: "......... (Nod)."
Anna: "However, we still can't relax. We still need to bring the magical thread outside and secure them. For now, let's focus on getting out of this dungeon."

■■■■■Berna Epilogue:
■Berna Appears (Wedding):
Berna: "Ta—da!!"
Berna: "Well, what do you think? Does it suit me? Does it suit me? I had this dress made from the magical thread from before~♪"
■Shadia & Berna Appear:
Shadia: "——Ooh, so you were in here, Berna? If you run around like that, you'll get the hem of your dress dirty, you know?"
Berna: "Oops, sorry, sorry. I just got a little excited is all. That's right, anyways, I have to report the result of my investigation."
Berna: "The securing of the 'Magic Thread of Blessing' scattered outside the dungeon is proceeding smoothly. I guess it'll just be a little while longer till we secure most of the thread?"
Shadia: "We considered the highly magical nature of the magical thread we secured from that and had it turned into a dress."
Shadia: "Of course it's for Berna, who did most of the work securing it. It seems she caused quite a celebratory stir during the tailor-sponsored unveiling in the city."
Berna: "Everyone was making such a fuss, and before I realised, I noticed I fled all the way here~♪"
Berna: "But when I look at everyone enjoying themselves in rowdy merriment, this sort of fun unveiling isn't that bad, I suppose...?"
Berna: "Yeah, it's not bad. Rather it's fun! Almost like I want to try this every year! Yo—sh, how about we have the Prince also wear a dress next time?"
Shadia: "Why do you want to make the Prince wear a dress, Berna... ——Well, it's probably not as bad as it sounds."
Shadia: "In any case, as the administrator, surely you have interest in the celebration of the people, right? Today, how about you take a break and also join in the unveiling?"
Berna: "Right, right! I finished my report, so come with Prince. Let's go, let's go! Fufufu, like a flower in either hand, I'm twice blessed, see~?"

■■■■■A Hanayome is Strong and Beautiful (100/2) (花嫁は強く美しく):
Olivia: "——Alicia-san, Berna-san, the meeting is this way."
Alicia: "Waa... It's so sparkly and very pretty...!"
Berna: "Though Alicia's sparkling's not playing second fiddle to my own, OK?"
Olivia: "Fufufu, you're both very cute, you know? More importantly, I'm truly sorry for summoning you two to the festival in the Fairy Country on such short notice..."
Olivia: "For the sake of building relations between the Kingdom and the Fairy Country, our people insisted we hold a joint celebration..."
Alicia: "It's no problem, thanks to this, I was able to join such a wonderful festival."
Berna: "Right, right. It's not every day a girl with little prospects of finding a husband gets to dress so feminine..."
Alicia: "Fufu, that's cause it's our duty to fight while brandishing weapons."
Olivia: "You two are also cute girls before you are warriors, you know? That's why, today you should leave your weapons and——"
Supura: "——B, bad news! The Dark Elves have started to attack...!!"
Olivia: "... Looks like we cannot put aside our weapons. We need to fight so we don't dirty our dresses..."
Alicia: "Yeah, looks like it. I don't want the Prince to see me when the hem of my dress is all dirty!"
Berna: "Yeah, yeah. For the cute dress, let's show him how we fight in cute dresses. I'll take care of the ones over there, I'll leave these ones to you, OK!?"
Dark Elf: "——Where's the 'Magic Thread of Blessing'!? Hand over the 'Magic Thread of Blessing' to us...!!"
Alicia: "Prince, I'll handle the path over here. I'll never surrender this dress!!"
Olivia: "Then I'll watch the path over here. Prince, please give suitable orders to us as well!"
(end)
Dark Elf: "What...? Why're these females so strong!? Hah, could it be those dresses were woven with magical thread——"
Alicia: "——A maiden in love is strong!"
Olivia: "Right, don't think you'll steal away these dresses so easily."
Dark Elf: "Damn it all, I never heard such reasoning! Eei, retreat! Retreat!!"
Berna: "——Fuu, most of the Dark Elves over there have started to retreat. With this, I guess we can settle down, right?"
Olivia: "I'm terribly sorry for involving everyone in the Kingdom in a battle with the Dark Elves."
Alicia: "With this we protected the festival with the Fairy Country, so there's no need to apologise, you know?"
Prince: "......... (Nod)."
Olivia: "... Fufu, thank you very much. Well then, let's continue the festivities, shall we?"
Olivia" "Please enjoy yourselves in full by all means, OK?"
